Birthday Girl

I’ve only just noticed this about two days ago, but now I see that I have actually already lasted a year into this anime-blogging business. Lots of other, better, blogs have been around for far longer, and I take my hats off to them, but when I think about it, my blog staying alive for a year is an impressive feat in itself, and is thus worth talking about. I never did plan on writing about silly cartoons and comics from the Land of the Rising Sun for very long time, hell, I was expecting to burn out three months into it. But here I am, still rattling away on the keyboard. I’d even gained some positive reactions and a few readers, and for that I am grateful. They’re not a lot, but still, I’d like to thank those who bothered to read (and commented on) this little blog. I hope you continue to read whatever shit I put in here. Also, a shout-out to the guys on the blogroll. I never thought I’d get that many on there.

Normally, I should have some kind of celebratory crap in this kind of post, but I couldn’t think of anything. I didn’t want to make a rather pointless post even more pointless, though, so I had to wrack my brains for this one. Thankfully, I kept on catching Samurai Champloo on TV–they re-air the thing quite often here–and an idea struck me: I liked the show when I first watched it, and I find that it’s never gotten old for me, and that over the course of watching the series again on TV I noticed a few names that before didn’t strike me as interesting but has now tickled my fancy. In other words, I’m going to put down here the (more or less) complete staff list for the series. Think of this as a kind of service for other fans of the show who are curious enough to read about such things. Also, I feel this could also serve as a glimpse into the different elements who came together to produce manglobe’s debut TV anime (oh how the mighty have fallen).

Truth be told, I’m only arranging the listing found on ANN, so all credit is due to them. This also makes the post rather meaningless too, but oh well. It’s for my own curiosity first and foremost, anyway.

And for any mistake in this listing, I apologize in advance (I’d like it if you corrected me, as well).

Thanks for the kind words, man. I also apologize for not being that visible on the anime blogosphere, and not subscribing to anything–though I have dropped by your blog often, but I’ve never commented on anything there…Anyway, I hope to do a good, if not even better, job with this blogging business in the future. It’s kind of fun, in its own way.
